Thrax Audio Yatrus with Lyra Kleos MC cartridge at Audio Atelier Singapore. Yatrus uses a maintenance-free drive system. No regular speed adjustments, belt changes, etc. are required. It is designed for perpetual operation. The use of a direct drive motor eliminates several sources of noise, such as belt knock and jitter, high-speed motor vibration, multiple bearings chatter, and so on. The result is an amazingly quiet drive system, mounted on an inert rigid body with a damped rigid coupling to the arm-board, which manifests itself as the most explosive dynamics and cleanest texture. The Yatrus is designed for use with a single 9-inch tonearm.
